The Corvette is currently celebrating its 60^th Anniversary with a special 60^th Anniversary Package that will be available on all 2013 Corvette models, as well as a Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition.

The new 427 Convertible Collector Edition is powered by an LS7 engine that delivers a total of 505 HP and 470 lb. – ft of torque. It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and can hit a top speed of 190 mph.

The LS7 was co- developed with the Corvette Le Mans- winning GT1 engine and features lightweight titanium connecting rods and intake valves as well as racing- inspired high- flow cylinder heads and a dry- sump oiling system. It is assembled by hand at GM’s Performance Build Center, where customers who purchase the 427 Convertible Collector Edition can purchase the Corvette Build Experience option and assemble the engine that will power their new car.

Supporting performance elements in the Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible include the driveline and rear axle system from the Corvette Z06, a rear- mounted battery and standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The standard 19- inch front and 20- inch rear wheels are wrapped in ZR1- style Michelin PS2 tires. Lightweight machine- face Cup wheels- introduced on the 2012 Corvette Z06 with Z07 and Corvette ZR1 with PDE performance packages- come standard and include unique gray- painted pockets. Black Cup wheels or chrome ZR1- style wheels are also available.
